 Abstract   This paper presents a preliminary study of PT (Piezoelectric Transformer) based SMPS's (Switch Mode Power Supplies) for LED luminary. The unique properties of PTs (efficiency, power density and EMI) make them highly suitable for this application. Power stage topologies, rectifiers circuits, modulation schemes, LEDs and LED driving conditions are analyzed. A prototype radial mode PT optimized for ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching) is designed. FEM (Final Element Method) and measurements validates the PT design. A prototype PT based AC/DC converter operating from european mains is proposed. The prototype constitutes a light source equivalent to the 40 W incandescent bulb. Experimental results shows, that the prototype are capable of ZVS and dimming (the later trough use of burst mode control).
